Use the parseInt Function

Use the parseInt Function

The parseInt() function will take any string parameter representing a number and return its integer value.

Hint 1

parseInt() should be used inside your function and return whatever str is, assuming that str is a string representing some number.

Solution

function convertToInteger(str) {
    return parseInt(str); 
}

convertToInteger("56");
